SRA Grand Prix at Glen Helen 06-21-2009
Not my helmet cam, but a good idea of the track layout. The video does not do justice to the fast bits nor the infamous Glen Helen hills. 7 months off the bike was not a good way to prepare, but I had a blast anyway. Raced the 40+ Seniors class and did not finish last, nor crash through any chain link fences, so it was a success compared to last time I rode. Despite zero prep from last November's Day in the Dirt, the bike started 3rd kick and ran like clockwork all day. It's not exactly novice-friendly to ride in the tight corners, but the straight bits make up for it.

Nope we were doing the team race and he was in the wash top of fourth gearredrocket190 wrote:Real sorry to hear that. Was he the guy who tumbled down the big hill out on the REM track?AlisoBob wrote:Solid Bro's boy snapped his Collarbone, and his elbow......
and it started swapping ends and he went over the top and landed
on his left side and back. Completely wrecked helmet and chest protector.
It would have been worse if it were not good equipment.
Awsome vid he crashed about 7:50 on the vid he landed just before the water barriers crossing the road.
I was standing on the bridge on top of that guy and saw the whole thing.
